Nos recherches démontrent que les industriels de l'emballage réservent surtout l'emploi du terme «encartonneuse» à la machine qui utilise des cartonnages pliants, de type étui, boîte-coffret, multipack, «wrap-around», «bag-in-box», cartonnage pelliplaqué, lesquels sont tous des emballages de présentation. Cependant, on dénote aussi à l'occasion l'usage de l'encartonneuse pour des caisses d'expédition en carton ondulé ainsi que des boîtes rigides à couvercle. D'autre part l'encaissage proprement dit, qui intéresse les contenants d'expédition en carton appelés caisses, s'effectue sur des encaisseuses. 3, record 4, French, - encartonneuse
